Ninzen® bows in respect to the Yamabushi and other ascetic traditions that trained stillness in harsh places. What I share is not their art, but a modern discipline shaped by similar vows to presence, humility, and restraint.

Ninzen® is a kind of kintsugi (金継ぎ) of the self. I do not hide fractures; I seal them with discipline, awareness, and responsibility. The scars become part of the blade.

Ethics & Scope Statement

As an Applied Martial Philosopher and Behavior & Mindset Coach, my work focuses on awareness, perception, and practical behavior change. I help people notice patterns, regulate their nervous system, and choose clearer responses in the present moment. I do not diagnose, treat, or claim to heal mental health conditions, and my work is not a substitute for therapy, medical care, or crisis support. When clinical help is needed, I encourage and support working with licensed professionals. My role is to act as a guide and strategist, offering grounded practices, honest reflection, and discipline that respects your autonomy and lived experience.

Disclaimer

I am not a doctor, therapist, psychologist, or licensed counselor. I do not provide diagnosis, medical advice, or crisis intervention. My work as an Applied Martial Philosopher and Behavior & Mindset Coach centers on education, self awareness, emotional regulation, and practical strategy for everyday life. It is meant to complement, not replace, the support of qualified medical and mental health professionals. If you are in crisis or acute distress, please contact local emergency services or a licensed mental health provider in your area.
